[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]All reading is good reading. [/b] Many adults don't read at all. Reading graphic novels would be an improvement. Let your kid read what they want.[/quote] The bolded is just not true. Reading is a (minor) factor in character formation. I'm with the posters who compare reading diets to food diets. There are junk books and they are treats. OP I would take the first or second response's suggestion of a read-aloud. Or just require your kid to read a relatively short non graphic novel before you provide another graphic novel. Done.[/quote]
